Need to clear an insurance premium before year-end? HDFC Bank has an attractive offer that rewards insurance payments made on its retail credit cards.
Offer Details:
- Offer: 5X rewards on insurance spends made with HDFC Bank retail credit cards (applies to all types of insurance)
- Validity: 1 November 2019 to 31 December 2019
- Minimum transaction: Rs.10,000 (cumulative). Please reconfirm with customer support for your account to be safe.
- Maximum cap: 2,000 points per month (total 4,000 points across the two-month offer period)
- Fulfillment: Rewards to be credited within 90 days from the offer end date
- Source: Official HDFC Bank offer listing
On eligible premium payments, this works out to about a 16.5% effective return if you hold high-reward cards like Diners Club Black or Infinia, assuming you use the cards up to their optimal monthly spend levels (around Rs.15,000 per month for best value).
Note: The offer has been cross-checked with customer care and appears to be open to all cardholders rather than being selectively targeted. Still, calling customer support to confirm eligibility for your specific card is recommended.
Bottomline
HDFC’s 5X reward promotions can be generous compared with other issuers, which sometimes limit base rewards on insurance payments. Although the monthly rewards cap has been reduced compared with some past promotions, this offer remains valuable if it aligns with your insurance payment timing. If you can consolidate insurance payments on an eligible HDFC retail credit card during the offer period, it can deliver meaningful returns.
